In this episode of Own Your Career, Rod shares his 30+ years of networking experience with his listeners.

As the CEO of Me, Inc. networking is a critical core competency in growing your enterprise and extending your brand. You will need to find advocates, i.e., people who can help you “network your way” into a particular organization or company. Without the use of advocates, you might as well spend your time in The Black Hole.

If your networking or connecting skills are rusty, you may have to spend some additional time in developing them so that you can establish appropriate advocate relationships with confidence when they’re needed.

Since you can’t possibly know now just who those future advocates will be, you’ll have to treat everyone you meet as though they are a potential advocate.

Without the use of advocates, your career management methodology will either fail you or at the very least slow you down… way down.
